World-leading project integration

In essence, an integrated project is a customized and scalable initiative, often end-to-end, where a trusted partner collaborates with the customer to solve a specific challenge. It ensures superior performance and strong financial outcomes—delivering tangible value for all stakeholders.

The energy industry is moving more towards an integrated projects model, driven by a number of global undercurrents:

1. The energy transition
   Greater emphasis on optimizing existing assets, reducing carbon intensity and doing more with a smaller footprint, in addition to advancing geothermal, carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS), and other lower-carbon technologies.
    
2. Buyer aggregation
   A marked shift in buyer behavior towards purchasing multiple products or services together as a single package.
    
3. Shrinking talent pool
   A correlation of factors that has led to a dearth of accessible expertise in certain fields.
    
4. Financial returns
   Rising demand for cost efficiency and reduced cost of ownership.
    
5. Navigating geopolitical uncertainty
   An increase in global political instability that has a knock-on effect for energy security.
    
6. Post-pandemic digital acceleration
   Adoption of remote operations and automation that began in the COVID-19 lockdown era and has continued apace ever since.
    

These dynamics are fundamentally reshaping organizational capabilities and shareholder expectations alike, and do not leave room for complacency!

Yes! Our approach is modular and scalable, offering comprehensive technical and digital solutions across the entire oil and gas value chain—from field development planning (FDP) through to production optimization, enhancement, and recovery.

Customers may involve us at any phase of the process, either for specific support or comprehensive execution. They can choose to retain decision-making authority while we offer advisory services, or fully delegate asset management responsibilities to our embedded teams.

This choice-driven model ensures alignment with their strategy and comfort level. We also offer varying degrees of risk-sharing—working alongside the customer as true partners in performance enhancement.

Our customers rely on our decades’-long domain expertise, experienced teams, and commitment to knowledge transfer. Whether it’s revitalizing brownfields to reverse production decline, or tackling challenging greenfield projects in deepwater settings, they trust us to deliver results, based on a back catalog of tangible success.

Our main advantage lies in unparalleled performance that redefines possibility. Customers consistently rely on us to elevate their key performance indicators (KPIs) across drilling, production, and other critical benchmarks.

They approach us with their toughest tasks—whether it's the most difficult wells or incredibly challenging fields—because they trust us to deliver outcomes others can’t. Our project catalog is full of case studies that prove our impact, wherever we are present.

Our performance standards stem from three foundational strengths:

• Deep-domain knowledge
• Cutting-edge technology
• An unmatched global footprint.

With 100 rigs operating globally, we've developed an extensive knowledge. Our technology, digital solutions, and rigorous project management practices underpin every stage of our scheme of work, creating the approaches that bridge silos and deliver transformative results.

That’s what has made Integration the preferred partner for customers seeking lasting performance and continuous improvement.

That’s a resounding yes. SLB Integration was conceived to serve as a single interface for customers—bringing together every piece of SLB technology under one roof. That includes the whole range of digital products and services that the company has been developing for decades.

This unified access is not just a convenience—it’s a fundamental advantage. And because collaboration and customization are at the heart of what we do, we can tailor solutions precisely to each customer's unique operational challenges, optimizing performance, lowering costs, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Often, the most crucial step towards finding the correct solution is identifying the right problem. Navigating a vast portfolio of technologies can be daunting, and customers may well feel overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of choices available.

One of our core strengths at SLB Integration is helping customers define their challenges with pinpoint precision, to craft solutions that directly address their needs. We simplify the process, offering clarity and guidance, delineating the tools and strategies so they don’t have to.

Naturally, the level of assistance required varies among customers—many possess extensive expertise in their fields, allowing us to engage with them as genuine partners in collaboration. But in regions facing industry disruptions, or talent shortages, we provide additional support to define scopes and requirements.

We pride ourselves on taking a hands-on approach and working side-by-side with our customers. Whether it's boosting production, enhancing drilling performance, or resolving inefficiencies, our goal is always the same: deliver results that align with their targets and generate true value.

Absolutely! When SLB Integration began three decades ago, our focus was solidly on the drilling space, but our scope has expanded in line with the times.

We’re no longer just drillers. We’re production specialists—delivering unmatched expertise, technology, and strategic insight to solve the industry's toughest challenges.

Propelled by emerging priorities—including the need to maximize mature assets amid declining investment, and the long-term sustainability demands of the energy transition—our work in P&R now represents a core strategic pillar for the organisation.

To accelerate our impact in this area, we recently acquired ChampionX, to close a key gap in production chemicals and enable us to offer end-to-end solutions across the production lifecycle.

Sure! SLB Integration offers customizable commercial and integration models that cover the whole hydrocarbon lifecycle and the vast scope of challenging environments in which our industry operates—land, offshore, conventional, unconventional, and high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT).

In a nutshell, our commercial models are designed with flexibility as standard, and are engineered to align with customer goals and risk appetites, ensuring success is a shared outcome. We generally present the following partnership options to our customers:

• Fee-for-service arrangement
  A straightforward, low-risk model based on daily rates.
  
• Risk and reward
  KPI-tied agreements, sharing performance gains.
  
• Lump sum
  Fixed-price contracts with full delivery responsibility.
  
• Production sharing/surplus-based agreement
  Payment linked to output increases beyond a baseline, creating mutual benefit.
  

Our integration models are designed to achieve operational excellence through modular and scalable components. They incorporate insights gained from prior experience and are underpinned by robust legal frameworks to ensure fair and secure outcomes.
